A landholder for Sinclair Broadcast Group, a company that owns Fox 29 San Antonio and 172 other television stations nationwide, bought 7.6 acres of vacant land near the crossing of Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 last week.

The landholder, San Antonio Television LLC, bought the land at the southwest corner of Vance Jackson Boulevard and Beckwith Boulevard for an undisclosed price on July 5, property records show. The land was assessed at $2.8 million this year by the Bexar Appraisal District.

Sinclair Broadcast, which is based in Baltimore, operates six channels in San Antonio, including Fox 29 and CW 35, according to federal filings. Spokeswoman Chelsea Koski didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The company has been in the news this summer for trying to buy Chicago-based Tribune Media, which owns 42 television stations nationwide. The acquisition is awaiting approval from the FCC.
